This year Dr Fabien Paillusson and Dr Matt Booth are running an extra-curricular general relativity study group with undergraduate students. The group, named the ‘gravitation congregation’ are working through Thomas Moore’s book ‘A General Relativity Workbook’.

So far, the group have mostly reviewed special relativity but will soon be moving onto such topics as four-vectors, tensor equations, geodesics and the Schwarzschild metric.
